It is true "someone" will have it in stock. The problem is..if they have it, and no one else does..it is almost ways because they charge an arm and a leg.

That is really a core issue. Often times we have the best price on something, but we can sell it faster than it comes in. Then you get a customer who does not want to pay more than they paid us, but also does not want to wait..so you have to deal with their anger till it ships. That is why as I said above..we are raising prices on things that get backordered more and more.

I am just being honest. I have seen plenty of manufacturers customers here love have stuff going on backorder "for a week" and it takes 4-6 weeks.

This is how I see it:

Seller screwed up.
Buyer got upset.
Seller fixed issue.
Buyer got what he paid for.
Seller learned from experience.
It's a done deal.

Actually, none of this matters. I am done modding my Camaro. It is perfect.
